The Ford Barn

I am building a 31 Model A Closed Cab Pick-up. Not a restoration, but a street rod as the truck has already been worked over before I bought it. In hind sight, I should have tried to find a better frame, but here I am. Many of the existing holes in the frame rails have been welded up and I did the rest. I can not find the correct numbers for the placement of the running board mounts. I did find a drawing on wescottsauto.com, but the measurement given for center of rear spring mount to the rear running board mount is 22.5 inches, but that does not seem to compute. The measurement from the rear running board mount to the forward mount is not given, nor is there a number for the front running board mount to a point forward on the frame. I was hopeful that someone might have these numbers.

Bob C., you are the man. The 29 inch number for the rear measurement is more like it. I will be able to work with these for sure. Thank you so much.
